Lightning People is the debut novel by Christopher Bollen, who I used to work with at V Magazine. Can't wait to read it. If you're in NYC, he'll be appearing tomorrow at 7PM at Barnes & Noble Union Square, along with the electrifying Eleanor Friedberger (Fiery Furnaces), who will perform songs from her recent solo album, Last Summer.

Pick up Lightning People from the Strand, Powell's, or wherever you buy your classic New York novels.
